Again, congratulations Janoma!! It IS a big deal. I used to dread editing because I believed I was never fully equipped to deal with the shiftiness of the first draft. But in the past few months, I’ve realised that as I continue to work on a piece, new ideas and new ways of doing things reveal themselves. Discovering that and also realising I don’t have to rush through the process makes me feel better. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s fun 😂 But I’ll check out the book you recommended. Thank you!
Thank youuu!! And this is the feeling! I quite eager to start it out, I think what I fear most now would be feedback from beta readers but that’s still a long way to go. Also good luck on your manuscript too!
First off, congrats!! I also found editing to be a bit overwhelming. I have written books before, but it was on online platforms were the first draft is the only draft. Now, it feels like editing is like chiselling marble like Michelangelo.
I feel you!! I used to dread it 😂now I’m kinda excited cause I keep having new ideas I want to include in the story to fill in plot holes and I think I’m not even ready to part with these guys🙈

I still have to finish my first draft, but I am afraid of my characters changing too much after editing lol. I love them too much already.
that’s the process I guess. They’re like babies growing into teenagers 🥹
